Bizarre Birth

On the highway…in a plane…when you didn’t even know you were pregnant…what bizarre birth story do you have?

A woman gave birth on Sunday on New Jersey's Garden State Parkway. She was rushing to the hospital when she pulled over and delivered. Both mom and daughter are doing well at Monmouth County hospital.

A 44-year-old woman in Michigan went to the hospital with what she thought was a hernia but ended up giving birth… even though doctors told her she couldn't get pregnant. The woman had pains and went to the hospital. After tests they found out she was 40-weeks pregnant and hours later gave birth to a 10 pound baby girl via C-section. The woman had significant abdominal surgery two years ago and was told she wouldn't be able to have kids. Both mom and baby are doing great and are already home.

Janae Colvard had no idea she was pregnant until she gave birth. She went to a Gilbert, Arizona medical center before a nurse placed her in a wheelchair because she thought she had kidney stones. Janae stood up because she thought she had “an accident,” and then noticed her baby’s head crowning. The baby was delivered successfully.

Slacker does not understand how women can gain the weight of a child, and not know. There are quite a few pregnant women around the office, and the child kicking is visible. How do you not notice gaining weight, or the kid kicking, or Aunt Flow’s monthly visit?

The show “I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant” is probably the scariest, most bizarre show. I cannot believe that not knowing actually happens, unless the show is just an urban legend.
